Chapter 1496: Chapter 1485: Brewing Spiritual Wine, Preparing for Ascension to the Spirit Realm_1 Chapter 1496: Chapter 1485: Brewing Spiritual Wine, Preparing for Ascension to the Spirit Realm_1 Smoke swirled in the kitchen as Grandma Liu prepared breakfast. Hearing a knock on the door, she wiped her hands with a cloth and walked to the entrance to open it.
“Grandma Liu, I've brought the firewood for you.”
Li Dashan grinned as he carried the firewood through the gate.
“Dashan, thank you so much.”
Grateful, Grandma Liu hurriedly made way for him: “If it weren't for your help chopping firewood all these years, this old lady would have frozen and starved.”
“Neighbors should help each other out. It's only right.”
Li Dashan entered the courtyard and placed the firewood by the kitchen wall, his eyes involuntarily glancing towards the main room.
“Uncle Dashan, you've worked hard. Come in and have some tea.”
Lin Qingluo lifted the curtain, smiling as she stepped over the threshold and came out.
“Hehe, no need.”
Despite his words, Li Dashan couldn't help but walk over.
“Uncle Dashan.”
Lin Qingluo greeted him warmly, inviting him to sit down in the main room and poured him a cup of hot tea: “It's perfect timing that you're here, Qingluo has something to ask for your help.”
“What is it?”
Li Dashan became spirited and straightened his back.
“Grandma Liu is getting old. I'd like to ask for Uncle Dashan's help with going to Furong Town and finding a young servant to take care of her.”
Lin Qingluo produced a stack of silver notes as if by magic, placing them before Li Dashan: “Also, I'd like you to buy some wine jars along the way, any size, pattern, or color is fine. Just make sure they're sturdy and durable.”
“Alright, Uncle Dashan is on it.”
Li Dashan's excitement made him unable to wait; he quickly pocketed the silver notes and got up to leave.
“Uncle Dashan, there's no rush.”
Lin Qingluo hadn't expected him to leave so abruptly and quickly got up to see him off: “At least finish your tea before you go.”
“No need.”
Li Dashan laughed in response and reached the door, suddenly pausing and smacking his forehead in annoyance. He turned back with an embarrassed smile: “My mind must be going. I forgot to ask how many wine jars to buy.”
“Buy as many as you can.”
Lin Qingluo smiled: “Qingluo wants to brew wine and needs many wine jars.”
Li Dashan hesitated, then asked unbelievingly: “Buy all the wine jars in Furong Town?”
“That's right.”
Lin Qingluo's manner was calm and confident, leaving no room for doubt.
“Alright, Uncle Dashan understands.”
Without further hesitation, Li Dashan left the room, lifting the curtain on his way out.
“Walk slowly, Uncle Dashan.”
Lin Qingluo smiled and politely escorted him to the courtyard entrance.
“Okay, it's cold outside, you should go back in.”
Touched, Li Dashan picked up his pace, eager to get everything done quickly.
“Master, what do you need so many wine jars for?”
Little Kingfisher, perched on a roof corner, curiously peered with glinting eyes.
“Since we're determined to ascend to the Spirit Realm, we should prepare early.”
Lin Qingluo had a plan in mind: “The Orb is full of Spirit Flowers, and there's a huge harvest of Spirit Rice. It'd be a waste not to brew Spiritual Wine.”
Little Kingfisher had a realization: “Master intends to brew Spiritual Wine, go to the Spirit Realm, and sell it?”
“Mhm.”
Lin Qingluo smiled in confirmation: “Yes, that's my idea. The Spirit Realm isn't like the Human Realm; gold and silver are useless there. Spirit stones are the real currency, and without them, it'd be difficult to get anywhere.”
“We have five spirit stone veins. What's there to worry about?”
Little Kingfisher dismissed her concern: “We have plenty of spirit stones to spend.”
“The spirit stone veins affect the concentration of spiritual energy in The Orb. We can't exploit them recklessly.”
Lin Qingluo had a far-sighted plan: “Moreover, I want to bring our closest relatives to the Spirit Realm once we find our footing there, so they can experience a broader, more expansive world.”
